Podcasts by The Practical Catholic
We are three Catholic Young Adults from Jacksonville, FL that want to help spread the Gospel, the joys of being Catholic, and also tackle some of the struggles too. We will hit on a variety of topics in the faith and present them from the lay, working person's perspective. Tune in for new insights, interviews, and the occasional dad joke.
